Pictures

How does Blik choose a picture?

Blik reads the words in each event's title (and description, unless you turn that off in Settings) and matches them against its built-in keyword rules. "Dentist appointment" gets a tooth, "Lunch with Sam" gets lunch, and so on.

Can I change the picture for an event?

Yes, even in the free version. Open My events, tap the event, tap Picture, and choose any picture. With Blik Pro you can also create a keyword rule, so every event with the same words gets that picture automatically.

Why does my picture choice show up on my other devices?

Blik saves your choice in the event itself, as a short tag in its description, so it syncs with your calendar. Choose Use default picture to remove it.

Why do some events show a question mark?

Blik didn't find a keyword it knows. Pick a picture for the event, create a keyword rule (Pro), or send feedback from Blik's About screen so we can consider adding a picture.

How do I see which words choose each picture?

In Blik, open About or Settings and tap View all pictures. Tap any picture to see the words that pick it.

Calendars and widgets

Some of my events or calendars don't show up.

Check that the calendar is selected in Blik's Settings → Calendars, and that your phone is syncing it. See Sync your calendars.

How do I edit or delete an event?

Blik shows your events but your calendar app owns them. In My events, tap the event and then Edit to open it in your calendar app.

Will Blik drain my battery?

No. Blik doesn't run in the background. Android wakes it only when your calendar changes, when an event ends, and at midnight, and each update takes a moment.

My widget didn't update.

Tap the agenda widget and choose Refresh, or tap the refresh button on the month widget. If it keeps happening, check that battery saver or an app-optimizer isn't restricting Blik.

How do I change the colors of my calendars?

Blik uses the color your calendar app assigns to each calendar. See Change your calendar colors.

Does Blik need an internet connection?

No. Blik works offline; your calendar app does the syncing. Only buying Blik Pro or a tip needs a connection, and Google Play handles that.

Blik Pro

What does Blik Pro add?

More weeks in the agenda widgets and any month in the month widget, extra built-in keywords, your own keyword rules, custom display text, and any color and transparency for your widgets. See Blik Pro.

How do I get Blik Pro?

In Blik, tap any Pro feature or open Settings → Blik Pro, and choose a monthly or yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. Purchases are made through Google Play.

I got a new phone. How do I get Pro back?

Install Blik using the same Google account you bought Pro with, and Pro turns on automatically. If you bought the Blik License Key, also reinstall it free from your Google Play → Manage apps & device → Manage list. See Blik Pro and License Key help.

I bought the Blik License Key years ago. Does it still work?

Yes. As long as the License Key is installed, Blik Pro is on, with no subscription needed.

How do I cancel a subscription?

In Blik, open About → Manage subscription, or go to Google Play → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions.
